Light-rail Coyote Lyrics - Sleater Kinney

Let's meet in the city where 

the rivers cross, bridges there 

Let's float down into the stream 

of Rich and Poor Pioneers 

A kid from a western town 

wants to be seen, and go out 

Let's borrow my parent's car 

Let's stay out all night up there 

and Burnside will be our street 

Where the kids and the hookers meet 

Diners and strip club junk 

Bookstores and punk rock clubs 

I'm as green as this blade 

in the grass that bends 

in the wind that blows 

on the long weekends 

where I cross the bridge 

to the water fountains 

and drink in the hope 

that the city brings 

(Water, Building and Sin 

Big Oregon city draws you in 

A promise fulfilled or not 

Just hang on until the summer, it's hot) 

We'll make our home water-tight 

Work all day, play all night 

And hope we're not washed away 

By deceit or tragedy 

And Joan of Arc rules Northeast 

Where the poor and the hipsters meet 

The grid that divides us all 

The River makes final call 

Out at the edge of town 

Where airfield runs water down 

Coyote crosses old tracks 

And hops on the Light-Rail Max 

And if you wanna be a friend of mine 

Cross the river to the east side 

Find me on the eve of suicide 

Tell me the city is no place to hide 

Take me out into a sunny day 

Through the grotto or the promenade 

You came to me in the nick of time 

Thankful for the things I left behind 

Oh dirty river, come let me in
